Trouble copying file from XP disk to Win8 PC
Scenario: Win XP Pro machine died. Bought new Win8. Removed HDD from XP box; connected with USB to Win8. Tried to copy files in users profile in Docs and Settings. Permission denied. Advanced to trying to take ownership. Stymied on not knowing or being able to figure out the Object name. Tried the Users folder name alone; tried the full path from F:\ through the user's folder name. None accepted.
Can anyone tell me how to specify the name of the folder that I want to take ownership of?
Of course, any other approach to getting the user's files (including the Outlook files) copied to the new computer will be just fine too.

Ah! So that is the "object name" it is looking for? The name of the account that is taking ownership? I was trying to come up with a name for the folder. Thank you. Will try it.
